An Auckland mayoral candidate was found guilty for ramming the car which had a mother and her two children inside while he was driving five times over the legal blood alcohol limit. The 25-year-old campaigned under Auckland Legalise Cannabis and gained 1772 votes in the final count at the year's election. The woman had her 10-year-old and 1-year-old in the car with her. The evidential blood test carried out showed he had 259mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, above the legal limit of 50mg/100ml. Speaking of the media request for the summary of facts, an unremorseful Holland commented on his mayoral Facebook page that the legal drink driving limit was "absolutely pathetic".
